My Ballard bungalow has been home to several pets, including a yellow Lab who lived in bliss for 14 years. I have boarded various breeds and ages and communicate well with most. I have also attended guide dog puppy training. Dogs can expect walks 3x daily (two short, one long), plus hikes and visits to the beach, lake or dog park. As a yoga/Pilates teacher, I work mornings and some evenings; I'm usually home in the afternoons. Calm dogs who don't bark a lot or run around inside do well here, provided they're not aggressive towards cats (although my cat is used to dogs). Your dog can expect lots of attention and affection! Why I love dog sitting I've become a dog lover since moving to Seattle 17 years ago. Right after I bought my house we adopted an energetic, super friendly yellow Lab named Jasper, who lived for 14 years. He died in May 2013 and I haven't yet decided to adopt another. However, I miss the company of dogs and have had the pleasure of sitting various breeds. Meet my pets one dog-savvy cat About my yard I have a small fenced yard that's about 700 sf.
